Part two: The 98th Academy Awards predictions – The dark horses, the snubbed nominees and the winners

By Emiliano Magana | March 14

The Academy Awards will take place on March 15, 2026. With the list of nominees being released and Oscar voting being finished, it has left cinephiles with the doubt of who will be the winners in certain categories. Besides the doubt, questions have been raised about the categories, such as: will Paul Thomas Anderson finally get his long-awaited Oscar? Could “Sinners” break another record after beating “All About Eve” (1950), “Titanic” (1997) and “La La Land” (2016) in the most nominations received by a film in an edition of the Academy Awards? Who will win the newly introduced category of “Casting” in this Oscar’s Edition? With that being said, I have decided to share who I think are the dark horses, who got snubbed of nominations and who will be the winners of some of the major production categories in this Oscars edition.

Part one: The 98th Academy Awards predictions – The dark horses, the snubbed nominees and the winners

By Emiliano Magana | March 11

With the Academy Awards taking place on March 15, 2026, the acting categories seem to be close to shaping the way for a winner after a competitive award season, in which the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress had different winners at the Golden Globes, British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards. However, for Best Actress, Jessie Buckley seems to have secured herself her maiden Oscar win after a major sweep in the award season. The unsettled Oscar races have raised questions such as: Will Timothée Chalamet finally get his long-desired Oscar? Will Amy Madigan bring the golden statuette back to the horror genre? Will Sean Penn win his third Oscar? With that being said, I present who I believe are the dark horses, the snubbed nominations and the winners at this Oscars edition.
